Description

This plate of quartz crystals hosts an interlocking pair of pristine pyrite crystals. The pyrite crystals are mirror-bright cubes, with tiny octahedral faces at the corners. In excellent condition, the pyrites are perfect, and there are a couple missing and chipped quartz crystals. A great display specimen – looks really nice either supported to stand as in the first photo, or lying closer to flat, so could look great on any shelf in a cabinet.
